Suggesting ideas to improve our schools

Posted by James Wilson65sc on August 19, 2015

"Dammeier’s proposal aims to solve a problem identified by the state Supreme Court: Too much money from local school district levies is being used to fund basic education costs, such as school supplies and teacher salaries, that the court says are the state’s responsibility. To address that issue, Dammeier’s plan would reduce local levies to no more than $1.25 per $1,000 in assessed value by 2020."

Levy variances between school districts have created educational disparities in our state for too long. I proposed thoughtful solutions in the Legislature and I will continue fighting for Pierce County's students.
